Loosely tied or tightly wrapped, the bridal bouquet is essential to the bride's ensemble.

It may be in soft whites, matching and blending demurely into the dress; or its whites may be ringed with contrasting flowers to separate and define its beauty.

It may be in vibrant colors or made from wildflowers or unusual fruits and vegetables. Its ribbons may be formal or romantic, matching or contrasting. Simple gowns may use elaborate bouquets; and elaborate gowns may use simple bouquets. Everything is in your hands.
